Votre studio de contenu pour la semaine des Cannes Lions (du 22 au 26 juin 2026)
Event coverage, panel video production, and podcast recording on the French Riviera, delivered in English and ready for global audiences.
Every June, the Croisette transforms. The luxury hotels become broadcast studios. Rooftop terraces become podcast sets. And brands that have spent the year quietly building their position suddenly need to show up loud, sharp, and on camera.
Cannes Lions draws over 15,000 delegates to a single stretch of coastline for five days of panels, launches, and off-schedule conversations that never make the official programme but always make the headlines.
The brands that truly capitalize on the week aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest stands. They're the ones who captured the conversation on video, in audio, and in content that keeps circulating long after the festival ends.
That's where Riviera Media comes in.
What we do during Cannes Lions
Riviera Media is an English-speaking production studio based on the French Riviera. We work with international media brands, B2B companies, and agencies who need professional video and audio production during the festival without the logistical friction of flying in a full crew from London or New York.
At Cannes Lions 2023, we produced over 40 video interviews for Business Insider, including a sit-down with LinkedIn CMO Melissa Selcher, across multiple days of the festival. That production required fast turnarounds, flexible location moves between hotel suites and beachside setups, and broadcast-quality output from day one. We've also covered the Monaco Grand Prix for Page Six, one of the most logistically demanding media environments on the Riviera.
We know this coastline. We know the venues. And we know how to turn a packed festival schedule into a content library that works for months, not just the week of the event. From private suites at the Martinez to beachside setups near the Palais des Festivals, our local knowledge means faster setup, reliable venue contacts, and none of the wasted hours that come with a crew navigating blindly through one of the most logistically complex events in the European calendar.
We produce in English as standard. For international brands whose content needs to reach a global audience, this is not a minor detail. It's the difference between turnkey assets and footage that requires costly rework before it can go anywhere.
What High-Impact Cannes Lions Content Looks Like
The shelf life of a well-produced panel discussion is far longer than the event itself. A 45-minute conversation with your CMO and two industry peers, properly captured and edited, becomes:
A long-form YouTube asset
A three-episode podcast series
A dozen LinkedIn clips
A written thought leadership piece
A highlight reel for your next pitch deck
This approach only works if the original footage is good enough to repurpose. Low-quality audio, inconsistent framing, or blown-out backgrounds from a sunny Riviera terrace will kill an otherwise excellent conversation before it reaches an audience.
We handle cameras, audio, and full AV setups so your team can focus entirely on the conversations that matter.
Podcast production during the festival
Cannes Lions is one of the best places in the world to record podcast content. You have access to senior voices across marketing, technology, and media who are already in interview mode, traveling light, thinking about big ideas, and willing to sit down for 30 minutes when the ask is right.
We build compact, professional recording environments that work in hotel rooms, private suites, or dedicated spaces near the Palais. You get broadcast-quality audio, natural lighting, and a production workflow that delivers finished episodes fast, because news cycles don't wait for post-production.
Working with Riviera Media at Cannes Lions
We work on both a retainer and a project basis. For brands with consistent content needs across the festival week, a retainer covers your full shoot schedule, daily edits, and priority turnaround. For single-day or single-session coverage, we offer project pricing.
Cannes Lions runs from June 22 to 26, 2026. Production slots fill early. Brands with a full event programme typically confirm two to three months in advance.
If you're planning to be at the festival and haven't confirmed your production yet, schedule a call here. We'll tell you in 20 minutes whether we can make it work.
